Why Singapore?
The standard corporate tax rate in Singapore is 17%. Qualifying new companies receive the Start-up Tax Exemption for their first three Years of Assessment, after which the Partial Tax Exemption applies; the amounts are below and in our guide. This concerns tax in Singapore. If the company is managed from Germany, Austria or Switzerland, it may be taxable there. How much tax is ultimately due depends on your residence, the place of management and your documentation.
GST (Goods and Services Tax) is 9% and is only mandatory from an annual turnover of SGD 1 million. There is no capital gains tax and no withholding tax on dividends.
Strasia Group offers complete accounting and tax services for Singapore: from ongoing bookkeeping to ACRA annual reports and IRAS tax filing.
How much corporate tax does your Pte. Ltd. pay?
Our guide explains the rates, exemptions and the YA 2026 rebate, with a calculator. This page shows who handles bookkeeping, the tax return and GST for you.
Your Pte. Ltd.'s tax return is due by 30 November every year, even without revenue. Which form applies and when ECI is due is explained in our Form C-S 2026 walkthrough.
